Bilateral Inverted V-shaped High Tibial Osteotomy: A Case Report.

The article describes the case of a young patient with bilateral genu varum deformity, limiting her mobility. The therapeutic decision was a staged reverse V-shaped tibial osteotomy on both knees at a six-month interval. The surgery faced infectious complications on the left side, requiring additional treatment. Despite this, the patient achieved successful correction, with wound healing and bone consolidation. Preoperative planning was crucial, determining specific correction angles for each knee. The reverse V-shaped osteotomy demonstrated satisfactory functional outcomes compared to other techniques. The conclusion emphasizes the effectiveness of reverse V-shaped high tibial osteotomy (HTO) in addressing varus tibial deformities, providing an alternative before considering total knee arthroplasty. Multicenter studies and long-term evaluations are recommended to refine this surgical procedure.
